Bama

What Bama does

BAMA SAS is a French industrial mold designer and plastic injection manufacturer headquartered in Torcy, France, operating since approximately 1950. The company originated from the merger of two firms specialized in thermoplastic mold manufacturing and plastic injection, and has accumulated over 70 years of technical expertise in producing custom, high-precision injection molds and Zamak die-cast molds. Its customer base spans the medical, pharmaceutical, packaging, and industrial consumer-goods sectors, with particular emphasis on GMP-compliant, multi-cavity, and bi-material (2K) tooling for regulated applications such as syringes, connectors, and tamper-evident packaging.

BAMA operates a fully vertically integrated production model with no subcontracting. Its facility comprises two workshops (injection and tooling fabrication), an engineering bureau equipped with 9 CAD workstations (SolidWorks, Topsolid), 8 CAM stations, and rapid-prototyping 3D printing, plus two laboratories for dimensional control and quality. The tooling workshop runs 20+ CNC machines (including MIKRON machining centers, EDM wire/sinker machines, and precision grinders) and a fleet of 14 injection presses ranging from 25 to 230 tons, supporting mono and bi-material production of materials including PP, ABS, polycarbonates, PEHD, TPE, and COC.

The company's revenue model combines one-time custom mold fabrication contracts with ongoing injection production runs (pre-series to large series) and complementary technical services such as mold maintenance, gripper development, metrology, and turnkey press-cell supply. Sales are conducted via direct, engineering-led engagement with enterprise customers across France and internationally. The company is privately held (SAS), with a stated share capital of €1.5 million and approximately 30 employees.

Core offering

BAMA SAS designs and manufactures custom thermoplastic injection molds (multi-cavity, bi-material and Zamak die-cast molds) entirely in-house in Torcy, France, and operates a 14-press plastic injection production facility (25–230 tons) for mono and bi-material serial production. The company offers a fully integrated service from engineering study through prototype, pilot and production tooling to injection production, supported by in-house CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Topsolid), 3D rapid prototyping, and a full metrology/quality laboratory.

Product overview

Bama is a French mold designer and plastic injection manufacturer offering an integrated, end-to-end service from concept to production. The portfolio centers on three core offerings: thermoplastic mold design and manufacturing (prototype, pilot, and production tooling), zamak die-cast mold fabrication, and plastic injection molding services. These are supported by in-house engineering (CAD/CAM with SolidWorks and Topsolid), metrology and quality control labs, and complementary services including mold maintenance, gripper development, and turnkey cell supply. The company operates its own 14-press injection facility and 20+ machine tool workshop, enabling complete vertical integration without subcontracting.

Products and services

• Thermoplastic Molds (Multi-cavity and Bi-material) Custom thermoplastic injection molds designed and manufactured in-house in stainless steel, including multi-cavity and bi-material (2K) configurations for high-precision industrial applications. Each mold is produced within BAMA's tooling workshop using 20+ CNC machine tools and full metrology controls, without subcontracting.
• Zamak Die-Cast Molds Custom Zamak die-cast molds for pressure die-casting, fabricated using hot-chamber conventional machines and Techmire micro-molding machines for small precision parts.
• Plastic Injection Molding Services Plastic injection production services using a fleet of 14 presses (25–230 tons), supporting mono-material and bi-material (2K) production for pre-series, small series and large series production runs. Materials processed include PP, ABS, Polycarbonates, PEHD, TPE, COC and other technical resins for medical, food-contact and packaging applications.
• Prototype Tooling Prototype tooling service with initial cavity creation for preliminary testing and validation of mold concepts, enabling rapid iteration before committing to pilot or production tooling.
• Pilot Tooling Pilot tooling with reduced cavity count but representative of production mold specifications, enabling validation and pre-production runs before full-scale production tooling investment.
• Production Tooling Full-scale production mold manufacturing optimized for cost-efficiency and minimal industrial risk, designed for seamless integration with customer press equipment and high-volume production.
• Engineering and CAD/CAM Design Services In-house engineering service using 8 CAD workstations (SolidWorks, Topsolid), 4 CAM stations, GPAO and 3D printing for mold design, piece design, co-design and process planning.
• Metrology and Quality Control Services Metrology services including 2D Vision inspection, contact and non-contact CMM (Mitutoyo, TIGO SF Hexagon), climate chamber testing and analytical balance for dimensional validation, with full traceability of all productions.
• Mold Maintenance and Cleaning Services Comprehensive mold maintenance including pressure/temperature washing, ultrasonic cleaning, cryogenic cleaning and spare parts manufacturing for customer-owned tooling.
• Gripper Development Custom gripper design and manufacturing developed in parallel with tooling to support validation and production line integration.
• Complete Turnkey Cell (Press, Mold, Robot) Complete turnkey cell supply combining press, mold and robot with full integration and commissioning at the customer facility.
